A Thermaltake PC case has been used to create this stunning custom UFO catcher gaming PC and it actually works.
Thermaltake is already widely known for its PC parts and colorful PC cases. However, the brand tech giant is showing off one of the most ingenious uses of their cases yet with a usable UFO-catcher custom PC.
Nvidia’s Jacob Freeman was able to catch a glimpse of the stunning custom build, which is not only based on UFO catcher claw machines you’d find at a retro arcade but it can be played too.
As seen in the short clip, the custom PC has controls of a real-life claw machine, that moves the claw inside the rig. The custom PC appears to be built with a Thermaltake case, which is already similar in design to a real-life UFO catcher machine.
While it isn’t packed with cute plushies you’d expect of a real UFO catcher, the custom PC appears to allow Computex attendees to try their best at grabbing a free lanyard. Luckily, the claw mechanism seems to be smart enough to avoid bashing up against the high-powered parts of the rig.
